Mother's Day Week

I have just loved spending time with this sweet girl this week. Her personality is just coming through. She is so active, army crawling everywhere and trying to get up on her knees. She sees something she wants and she goes for it. She also has an adorable and sweet quiet side. When she first gets up from a nap or even when someone new comes over she will bury her head in Mommy or Daddy's neck. It is the best feeling in the world! We checked out bubbles this week. What are these crazy things Mommy?

Sometimes we hang out in the living room. It gives Grace and the dogs a chance to get to know each other. They are so curious about one another. Athens is very patient with Grace as she can now crawl over to him and grab his legs/nose/ears/etc!

It was a wonderful first Mother's Day for Mommy. I loved my sweet card, flowers and balloon, but most I loved getting some great pictures with my girl. It has been by far the best 7 months of my life!

Sweet girl, you fill my life with a joy that I never knew existed. You are growing into an amazing girl. I love you more then peanut butter loves jelly. You are my wonderful first born. Keep growing healthy little one.

7 Months!

I can't believe my little girl is 7 months old today! 1 month, 2 month, 3, 4, 5, 6 even still sound like a little baby, but 7 months. Now that is starting to be a little girl instead of a tiny baby! She just amazes me. She kept trying to pull the cloth down, hehe. Such a funny girl.

                                                          

Swim, Swim, Swim

This week Daddy headed to Washington DC with his 8th graders. So Mommy had LOTS of time to play around with our new camera and take many many pictures of Grace. Check out some of the new features on our camera. They are really cool!

 

As you can see Grace is really moving around now! She can get anywhere she wants to go by army crawling. She is also starting to rock on her hands and knees. It wont be long before she is regular crawling! It is so fun to watch her beam with pride when she accomplishes something new.

This week we also went SWIMMING in our backyard! Uncle Taylor was there to help out so Mommy could take pictures. Grace loves the water. Which we knew she would, she also loves bath time!

 Rolling around on the living room carpet has also become something Grace loves to do! She loves being close to the dogs, although they are adjusting to her being able to grab them. She often goes for both of their tails!

Strawberries YUM! Grace loves eating out of her mesh Popsicle. We fill it up with Strawberries and she mashes on them until they are gone! Then we fill it up again.

This week we started using the bath seat! Grace can kick and reach for toys. We do notice that it uses a lot more water, so we will see how long it stays in there. However she sure loves it for now!

This is Grace ready to head to our last MOPS meeting of the year. Grace is wearing her first 6-9 month dress. Right now her closet is full of 3-6 month stuff even though she will be 7 months on Friday! Grandma and Grandpa Macaluso got this cute dress for her so we wanted to give it a try. It is a little big, but she looks GREAT! Right now Grace is weighing in at 15 lbs. She is a growing girl!

We also got to spend some time with Taylor's girlfriend Jenna this week at Taylor's loft. We had a great time and even got in a dip in the pool!

Sweet thing slow down! You are growing so fast. At night sometimes I go in your room and pick you up and you sleep on my chest. I love that feeling, you knowing that you are completely safe. I pray little girl that you always feel safe and loved no matter where you go in life. You are my angel.
